The first test of the law in Okla- home to guarantee bank deposits was made last week. A bank was in shaky condition. A bank ex aminer took charke , and drew up on the guarantee fund and paid every depositor in full. When Mr. Bryan was laboring with the people of Oklahoma to induce them to enact a guarantee law many of the republican newspa pers denounced him in severe terms for sticking his nose into the banking business declaring that he knew nothing about such matters. But now the newspapers of all parties appear to be pleased with the workings of the new law. Discussing the Oklahoma incident , the Lincoln Journal , perhaps the leading'republican paper of Ne braska , says : "From all stand points the first test ot the- Okla homa bank deposit insurance law seems to prove its merit. An ex aminer finds a bank playing fast and loose with the banking law. He clos < ? d its doors. Under the old system depositors would re ceive a dividend of 40 per cent in about three months , that being the cash resources of the bank , when closed. Later they would get such a part of the balance less the receiver's expenses as might be collected in the next half dozed years. Under the new system the guaranty fund created by a tax on | all the banks was drawn upon to pay the depositors immediately in full , and the receivership will be conducted in behalf of this fund and of the stockholders of the bank. Xo doubt , the deposits of this bank will go promptly into Moreover , the stimulated distrust of all banks which would have caused withdrawal of deposits throughout the state cannot result from this failure so that the banks are likely lose less under the new plan even chough the § 22,000 drawn from the guaranty fund be all lost , which is unlikely. Yet , since they might as well save also the § 22,000 , we can imagine the Oklahoma 'bankers , aroused by this incident , using their great in fluence to keep the examiners ac tive and earnest that such abuses by other banks may be nipped in the bud. Unde the old system the bankers had little interest in promoting meting the efficiency of bank ex aminers. " The Old Spirit. A marvelous change has taken place in the political atmosphere. One year ago only the most en thusiastic admirers of William J. Bryan were able to entertain the hope that there was better than a prospect for his election to the presidency. Today there is hope in the hearts of all believers in Bryan principles. Especially is this true in Nebraska. The truth of it was illustrated at eyery point during the late tour of Mr. Bryan in the nothern and western sections of his home state. Everywhere those who accompanied him on that tour heard one shibboleth : "Nebraska for Bryan , " and they heard it from MEN'S FURNISHINGS / Our men's furnishing department is filled with the many ex clusive designs in summer wear , which appeal to nobby dressers CLUETT SHIRTS , exclusive in styles and patterns , sold the world over for v. . $1.50 IDEAL SHIRTS , in the soft collar effects , in white , blue , tan , gray and checks 75c to $1.50 B.

If any man doubts that the people of Nebraska are now imbued with the old crusade spirit of 1896 let him travel to any section of the state and ask the people what of the prospects for Bryan in Nebraska ? Men who for ten years have taken no interests in politics men who have trusted the republican party in congress to en act some legislation to curb the trusts , and to give the country some relief from corporation rule , openly say that if the republican . party , with complete control of con gress for more than ten years , can not or will not do something to grant the people relief from the aggressions , . gressions of predatory wealth , then it j is time to look in some other direction for relief and quite na turally they are turning to that great citizen who has through the years so courageously and so ably pleaded the cause ot the common people. There is good reason for hope in the hearts of men who love Bryan and his principles. The old spirit of ' 96 is in the air , and the paramount duty of those who desire to see their great champion triumph over the hosts of error is to imbibe freely of the atmosphere of confid ence , and by their actions and their words communicate to others a measure of the hope that is in them. Doubt never won a battle on any field. Hope , loyally supported by Confidence , lias won many battles against a stronger enemy.
